Woody Allen sues American Apparel over billboard ad

Filmmaker Woody Allen has filed a federal lawsuit seeking at least $10 million in damages against American Apparel for allegedly using his image without his permission on billboards in New York and Hollywood, as well as its Web site. The ads from last May reportedly included an image of Allen dressed as Hasidic Jew from his Oscar-winning film, "Annie Hall." American Apparel did not comment for this article.
